Nonstick cooking spray
1 (16-oz.)
package whole wheat pizza dough, at room temperature
2 tsp. extra-virgin olive
oil
¼ cup tomato sauce, no sugar added

1
medium tomato, sliced

stretch to desired diameter.
3. Drizzle oil over dough; spread with a pastry
brush to the edges.
4. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a
quarter-inch border.
5. Layer with cheese, tomato, and basil.
6. Bake for 15 to
18 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
